Lunatia is so very different from my homeland. I wonder if there are others who have never seen such things as they have seen here.

To those who have been here for some time, does it ever begin to feel like home? What makes a place home?

This has happened. I am very fortunate that someone happened across me when they did. I knew him then only by reputation. I think we have become friends since then.

(( A curious look comes over his features. ))

Does your friend frequently have urgent need for chroma?

[beitangmoran]

Frequently, I do not know. There was a fight, and the use of certain abilities consumes Chroma.

Come to think of it, he is a cultivator as well, I believe. Although I think he... summons his weapons? is that the appropriate term?

(( Zichen ponders the phrasing. In a way, it could be seen like that. They summon the spirits of their weapons. But if he means to literally summon… ))

Can you please clarify what you mean when you say ‘summon’?

[beitangmoran]

I am... not quite sure actually. I haven't seen him actually do it. This is simply the term that he used.

He seemed to imply it requires energy and one of his weapons needs more than the other.

(( Song Lan presses his lips into a thin line, thinking it over. How would he describe it? ))

Using our spiritual weapons does take spiritual energy. The degree of which depends on the quality of the weapon, one’s mastery of it, and the weapon’s spirit itself. I suppose it could be called summoning.

[beitangmoran]

Hmmm... this seemed to be more of the ... 'actual' summoning sort. As in, making the weapon appear when needed.

[mysophobe]

I have not heard of such a thing. But that is not to say it does not happen. If one has a qiankun pouch, it could be stored there then seem to appear from nowhere.

[beitangmoran]

... I am sorry, I do not know what this 'qiankun pouch' is either or how one would recognize it.

But in any case, it almost drained him of Chroma, so even beyond the basic necessities of life, it is important to make sure your levels are high enough for such cases.

[mysophobe]

I shall take your friend's lesson to heart. You have my gratitude.

[beitangmoran]

Do not mention it. We must help each other out here.
